“…Furthermore, even when knowledge is shared, convincing people to provide and use stored knowledge resources is a challenge (Ardichvili et al, 2003;Suppiah and Singh Sandhu, 2011). A critical examination of the factors that influence KS reveals that they fall into three categories: individual (Alamahamid et al, 2010;Lee and Al-Hawamdeh, 2002;Riege, 2005;Wang et al, 2015); organisational (Islam et al, 2012;Ives et al, 1997;Kim and Lee, 2004;Martin et al, 2010); and technological (Alavi and Leidner, 2001;Argote et al, 2003). These three overarching factors are highlighted by many investigators (e.g., Islam et al, Ives et al, 1997Kim and Lee, 2004;Martin et al, 2010;Salleh, 2010).…”

The purpose of this paper is to fill a gap in the literature by investigating barriers to effective KS in preventing identity theft in online retail organisations. Design/methodology/approach -A framework was proposed based on a reconceptualisation and extension of the KS enablers framework (Chong et al., 2011). A qualitative case study research method was used for the data collection. Thirty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted in three online retail organisations in the UK. Findings -The findings suggest that the major barriers to effective KS for preventing identify theft in online retail organisations are: lack of leadership support; lack of employee willingness to share knowledge; lack of employee awareness of KS; inadequate learning opportunities; lack of trust in colleagues; insufficient information-sourcing opportunities and information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure; a weak KS culture; lack of feedback on performance; and lack of job rotation. Practical implications -The research provides solutions for removing existing barriers to KS in preventing identity theft. This is important to reduce the number of cases of identity theft in the UK. Originality/value -This research extends knowledge of KS in a new context: preventing identity theft in online retail organisations. The proposed framework extends the KS enablers framework by identifying major barriers to KS in the context of preventing identity theft.

“…What is certain is that the role of IA in DLi has not been acknowledged by literacy specialists. We can also state that the requirement that digitally literate persons be critical toward information leads to an awareness of information quality, which is one of the critical aspects of IA [14].…”

Information overload, information architecture and digital literacy

Efforts to address the chronic challenge of information overload in the digital world have focused on content filtering facilitated by information architecture (IA). Information professionals traditionally served as gatekeepers using formal information organization structures, systems and tools. The exploding quantity of contributed content on social media has magnified information overload and left content control and management largely up to users, who need to be educated in digital literacy (DLi) in order to assume this role. Thus, DLi's interface with IO is relatively clear. DLi also has a twofold role in the related field of IA. By default, information architects should be digitally literate themselves. Secondly, the users of information have to be aware of the importance of structures and architecture. This awareness can be achieved by educating them to IA as part of DLi education. The proper balance between formal and informal approaches to organizing information in the Web 2.0 environment is not yet clear.

Norm-Based Abduction Process (NAP) in Developing Information Architecture

Abstract. Abduction is a logical reasoning process that allows the discovery and creation of new knowledge. However, the function of knowledge is not explicitly developed in the existing research on abduction. Developing information architecture is a scientific inquiry in a practical context as it engages multiple stakeholders. However, the current research in information architecture does not appear to be underpinned by sound theoretical foundations. This paper proposes a norm-based abduction process (NAP) where norms are seen as knowledge in developing information architecture. A case study of a UK hospital is used for illustration purposes. The key contribution of this paper is to incorporate norms in the existing abduction process, to assert abduction as the foundation of a logical reasoning process and to derive a theoretical proposition for information architecture.
